How to Choose a Quality Youth Mentoring Program
Our Program Directory is a great place to start when looking for a quality mentoring program. Here are some questions you can ask a program, based on a framework of six core standards of practice instituted by MENTOR: The National Mentoring Partnership:
STANDARD #1: Recruitment
- Who are the mentors?
- What are the eligibility requirements?
STANDARD #2: Screening
- Does the program require mentor candidate background checks, including searching a national criminal records database, along with sex offender and child abuse registries and, when relevant, driving records?
- Does the program conduct personal interviews with each mentor candidate?
- Does the program check mentor candidate references?
STANDARD #3: Training
- Do mentors receive training prior to being matched with a youth?
STANDARD #4: Matching
- What factors are taken into consideration when matching mentors and mentees?
STANDARD #5: Monitoring and Support
- Does the program contact mentors, mentees, and parents/guardians on a regular basis to monitor the relationship?
STANDARD #6: Closure
- Does the program have a process for managing anticipated and unanticipated match closures?
